We are selling our 2003 Honda Element 4WD SUV. It has been in our family since new. Well treated and well maintained. It was primarily driven by my retired mother in law until about a year ago, and I have been driving it since then (middle aged father who long ago learned to take care of his stuff). 135xxx miles, a large part of which are highway (ABQ to Santa Fe miles put on once the grandchildren came along). 

This is probably the most versatile car I have ever owned (it's actually my second Element). The rear seats fold flat, as do the fronts, making a bed. The rear seats fold up along the sidewalls making a cargo area, or remove completely for an even larger cargo area.

No major problems or defects. Known issues are as follows:

Crack in lower part of windshield out of field of view (since cracks tend to happen in NM, and it is not a problem, it seemed to make sense not to get it fixed); 
Windshield washer switches are backwards. This is actually kind of funny. The connectors under the hood must have been switched at some point by accident. I looked at it once but it may require climbing underneath - once I got used to it it never bothered me
A few minor scratches or dings here and there on the exterior - nothing significant, rusting, etc. (see pictures)
Just noticed that a seam on the drivers seat is starting to separate a little (see picture) 
Rear tires have a few thousand miles left, but will need to be replaced at some point

Other than that, this little Honda is ready to go.  Also has a rear sunroof that is removable (kids love that). Comes with multiple keys and fobs.

NADA "clean" retail $8300

Feel free to ask any questions, come look at it and test drive it. Will coordinate with the shipper of your choice.

Honda Accord Hybrid falls well short of 47 mpg, says Consumer Reports [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Do not poke Consumer Reports with the hybrid fuel economy stick. That seems to be the lesson illustrated here yet again. The Honda Accord Hybrid is the latest to arouse the ratings bear, returning "just" 40 combined mpg in CR testing. Even so, that makes it "a class leader for fuel economy among midsized sedans," besting even the Civic Hybrid in CR testing, but that's still a lucky roll of the dice short of its EPA rating of 47 mpg. Remember, it was back in December 2012 that CR knocked the Ford Fusion and C-Max hybrid models for the exact same failing: certified with an EPA-rated 47 mpg but delivering "just" 40 mpg.
Beyond that, while the Accord Hybrid earned a lower overall score than the traditional gasoline Accord because of its ride, handling and refinement issues, it gets unqualified applause from the institute for its "very impressive hybrid system."
It will be interesting to see if CR's findings will negatively impact the model's sales, which to this point have been impressive enough that demand is outstripping supply. In the meantime, you can check out CR's brief video review of the Accord Hybrid below, and check out the magazine's press release chiding its mpg rating.

Honda demonstrates new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian safety tech [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We're fresh from a balmy rooftop deck in downtown Detroit, where Honda held a meeting this week to discuss and demonstrate a few upcoming advanced safety features. A clear focus of the mini event was the company's new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) technology, with a suite of Vehicle-to-Motorcycle (V2M) tech a significant second course.
With spirits still high from announcing the 2014 Odyssey as the first minivan to win the Top Safety Pick+ status from IIHS - and after seeing the application of new high-strength-steel sections of the Acura MDX body structure - Honda shared the fruits of some safety tech that is still in the research phase.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
